It’s Time to Talk About My Own Abortion Story

I was in the U.S. Army at Ft. Gordon, Georgia. It was 1975, and I’d be getting out in 1976, a short 2-year enlistment that the Army offered back then. I was a dental assistant at the Tingay Dental Clinic on post. My boyfriend, Ken, was a dental lab tech…

Tradition Schmadition

So much for 30+ years of hosting Christmas Eve at my house. No matter whether I crammed my family guests into my tiny apartment, or we had room to spread out in my townhome, it was something I looked forward to every year: my primary hostess splash. Of course, it…

Says You.

The line-in-the-sand that separates my body from your concerns Let’s go back in time with a few what-ifs and hypotheticals in order to view the conversation from multiple angles. You have concerns for the unborn life inside me: the life that has been put in my charge, via nature not…

Human Nature

What brings you happiness, the question that rises With changing answers depending on the variables Her age, her relationships, her bank account, her aches All play a part in the answer I’ll get. This day she tells me that she really likes nature To sit by a tree and see…

What’s New?!

Catching Up While Social Distancing The group get-togethers have been replaced by one-on-one phone calls, and I love one-on-ones. Yet, I’m exhausted. Like many of us that lean more introverted, I get my energy from solitude and expend energy during interactions. Even introverts like people. …
